PRINTOLOGY 


CHICAGO, 1911 525-537 Plymouth Place 


In the Realm of Book Lore 

I T IS told of an ancient lover of books that 
he marked six stations by which these 
children of the mind could be classified in 
their relationship to our existence. These were: 
How books mold and modify character; how we 
learn to love them; how we dress them; how we 
house and treasure them; what they mean to us in the 
past; what comfort they supply to the present, and how 
they influence our lives in the future. Certainly the 
classification is comprehensive and far-reaching, but all 
will admit that it was not bv anv means too broad in 
its scope. 

Books are the outlet of our thoughts, and often 
become part of our inner consciousness. With what 
loving care we place our hands on a good book and with 
what fervidness we try to dress our language in fitting 
words to convey to others what we ourselves have 
garnered of their contents. Books are the children of 
our imagination, the stimulant for the spiritual portion 
of our nature. They are endeared to us by association, 
and, like the nectar of the flowers, they can be stored in the hives of our faculties to sustain us 
through the bleak days of sorrow. In brief, thoughts are the sign manual of eternity, because 
they last forever. 

In books we stand revealed; here are recorded our tastes and inclinations, reflections of 
ourselves. A good book is the work of love, containing the solace for loneliness and a precious 
unguent for life’s cares. Within their covers we find the unpurchasable loyalty of friends. The 
buffetings of adversity are rendered immune by the sparkling rays from the pages of a good 
book, while wisdom’s second course and the promotion of joyousness find their most earnest 
handmaids in the books of our time. 

’Tis books, after all, that make us free and really worthy to enjoy the blessings of liberty, and 
if as a people we preserve our institutions and transmit them untarnished to posteritv we will 
need no stronger defense or support than our well-studied shelves of good books. Volumes 
in the libraries of the home are a good indicator of the man who owns them, shaping as they do 
the trend of his thoughts and the broadening of his conception of life’s duties. "A house without 
books is a habitation without a soul." 

The following on “Home Without Books,” is from an article in a local paper bv Arthur L. 
Salman, and needs no commendation other than the views it expresses on the subject it treats. 




Regan Printing House 

-V 




























^rmtologg 



“When I go into a house and find 
no books there that house seems to me 
empty. It is like a mere shell; beauti¬ 
ful perhaps on the surface, but hollow 
within. A soul is lacking. 

“The furnishings may be costly 
and ample, the rooms comfortable and 
commodious; but if there is no book¬ 
shelf, small or large, with its treasured 
volumes, how can we call such a place 
a home? It is simply a residence. 
Even pictures, though they provide 
some outlook from the world of 
materiality, do not supply the lack. 
Yet there are such houses and their 
occupants seem content with them. 

“It is not that books are any 
evidence of wealth, or even in them¬ 
selves a proof of culture. They are 
among the easiest attainable of at¬ 
tractive furnishings and they may 
never be read. But they are there, in 
the back-ground and they make their 
presence felt. Their very presence 
shows some regard for at least the ap¬ 
pearance of culture. But when they 
show signs of frequent handling, when 
they prove themselves a true part of 
the inhabitant’s life, how eloquent 
they are! 

“They tell us of character and 
taste more sincerely than anything 
else will. You can judge a person by 
the books that he reads quite as effect¬ 
ively as by the friends with whom he 
associates. For books are a man’s 
spiritual friends. What shall we think 
of the man or woman who has none? 

“There were, of course, times when 
books were rare and costly, and when 
many persons could not read. Such times must be judged by a different standard. In some 
sense they were times of greater artistic production There was more genuine handicraft; men 
uttered themselves in different ways; architecture was a living power, and perhaps preaching 
itself played a more intimate part. In those days it may be said that the few read and 
studied on behalf of the many. Now the many can read for themselves. Machinery and 
mechanical processes have taken the place of handicraft; artistic production has suffered a 
grievous loss; but all such loss has been far out-weighed by the easy availability of literature. 
“It is rather late in the day to be speaking of the value of reading. It may seem like a weari- 
































^Jrmtolocjg 


some dwelling on things that are hackneyed and trite, like a repetition of mottoes from a child's 
copybook. \ et there are still people who practically pass their lives without learning how to 
read. 1 hey can read in the literal sense, certainly; they can glance over a newspaper seeking for 
the few sensations that attract them; but of reading in the full significance they know nothing. 
A door is opened to them into worlds of beauty and wonder, and they do not enter; they might 
have the companionship of the greatest whom the world has known, and they remain outside. 

"In books we have the thoughts and dreams, the wisdom, the humor, the culture of the best 
minds at their best, and yet there are many who reject this proffered friendship, this privilege 
ol high companionship, this entry into spiritual courts and palaces, this free passage into wonder 
lands ot loveliness, d hey remain outside of their own choice, limited, cramped, a whole world lost 
to them. If a book, in one aspect, is a material thing which we can do without, in another it is 
a thing of spirit, which we can only miss to our grave loss. We can think without books, we can 


dream without them, we can see beauty without them ; but we are losing the thoughts, the dreams, 



the visions of beauty of minds which even in our least humble moments we must acknowledge 
to be far superior to our own. 

"Even if this superiority were not there, if we could enter as equal among equals, there is 
still the variety, the companionship, the readings of life given by diverse minds, the things as seen 
by many different eyes; to lose these things is a loss not easily estimated. Add to this the range 
of vision of those who see further than we do, the depth of thought of those who think more 
profoundly, the ideals of those whose souls have reached a higher level; does it not, then, appear 
that we are missing much for which no other gain can compensate? 

"It is not to be expected that all should read the best books. A great mistake is made in 
urging all alike to study those books alone that the world has denoted as classics. The so-called 
classics can never appeal to us all equally; some 
may not appeal to us at all, or we may not yet 
be ready for them. Reading should be un¬ 
dertaken gradually, from the good to the better, 
from the better to the best. 

“The world’s great books should never 
be turned into class books at all; very second 
rate stuff will do quite as well for parsing and 
analysis. Recitations, allowed as a pleasure 
rather than as a task, should be carefullv 
chosen; and all great writers should be dealt 
with only in terms of reverence and love. The 
pupil should be lured on, little by little, into a 
perception of what makes true literature as 
distinct from mere journalism or every day 
writing. One who is taught, however slowly, 
to know and love the highest will never tolerate 
an inferior style. 

“But he must also be taught to read for 
the substance as well as for the manner—for 
the substance chiefly, but for the manner also, 
which should be a twin born part of it. Many 
persons need little leading at all in this matter 
of reading; they take to it as a duck takes to 
water; and perhaps it may be said that there 















^rmtologg 



is none who cannot be led by judicious training into a love for at least some books. Every 
person is, or should be, interested in some one subject, and on every subject t leie are a\ ai a ale 

books, which should be full of inspiration and delight. 

' When we find a house it! which there are no books, must we take it that its owner is inter¬ 
ested in nothing? It certainly looks like it. It looks as though the inhabitant lived a simply 
material life, stultifving and starving his mind, caring for nothing beyond the daily food and 
raiment, with possibly a daily journal or an occasional magazine of pictures. His ideas are 
confined to his own unguided imaginings, his prejudices and ignorances. 

"It must not be denied that there is an immense deal to be learned from life itself—more ol 
practical wisdom and resource than can be gathered from any book; but those who do not read 
are not often those best capable of utilizing their experiences and, in any case, the\ aie missing 
an inexhaustible store of teaching and suggestion and cheering that might be added. They are 
missing comradeship in lonely hours, a permanent protection against ennui, a source ol strength 
in moments of weakness, encouragement and stimulation in times of sloth. The wisest, wittiest, 
most devoted friends might be in their rooms, waiting when wanted; beauty, thought, noble 
purpose, mystic vision, whatever the mind most specially era\ es all these are at our service 
between the covers of books obtained at small cost. 

The illustrations for this article were taken from "American Bookbindings," a book in the 
librarv of Henry William Poor, a noted bibliophile. I he volume was printed at the Marion Press, 
Jamaica, Queenstown, New \ork. A more striking specimen of craftsmanship is seldom met 

with, and indicates an at¬ 
tachment for the riches and 
soulfulness of book life 
which impresses all who 
have been privileged to be¬ 
hold it. 

In order to prevent the 
possibility of "American 
Bookbindings" from be¬ 
coming commonplace, there 
were printed of this edition 
but two hundred and thirty- 
eight copies, three of which 
are on Vellum, thirty-five 
on Imperial Japan paper, 
and two hundred copies 
on Holland handmade 
paper, all being numbered. 
The descriptive matter is 
from the pen of Henri Pene 
du Bois, and in giving space 
to a few of the beautiful 
specimens “Printology” 
feels that it pays only a 
small tribute to the art 
which for centuries has con¬ 
tributed so liberal a share to 
the world's advancement.

the same, and its lesson is likely to be lost. 

It has however been found impossible to secure a photograph of this section at a period 
antedating the conflagration of 1871. The buildings then were small and of little importance, 
altliomdi there was an air of culture and refinement maintained by the residents who later were 
destined to become the foremost citizens of the municipality and whose names have been handed 
down in veneration and regard as associated with many of the largest business enterprises of the 
present day A drawing has been made and each landmark as shown at that time (1863), desig¬ 
nated, and it is a faithful representation of the situation as it was known to the artist who made 
his home near the scenes depicted.

wrought upon what was formerly an established residential district the views here shown were 
made and embrace what is today known as the printing and publishing house district, covering 
the territory from State and Clark streets and from Polk to Van Buren streets. 

The various plants located within the boundary outlined above need no introduction to the 
world of production, they being known to every one conversant with the art of printing, binding 
and engraving, as well as to the collateral branches of the art. By reference to the drawing it 
will be seen that where the Dearborn Station now is there stood an antiquated Methodist house 
of worship, while the Clark and Polk street corner still holds the old St. Peter's Catholic Church, 
its venerable walls having withstood the gnawing tooth of more than a half century. At the north

Between these public buildings stood many homes with their picket fences inclosing green

which a brief period had brought about, and it familiar with old landmarks would have cause for 
amazement in contemplating the city’s future possibilities. In all respects Chicago has moved 
forward, but in no portion of its limits has this been more pronounced than within the printing

property within the section sketched has nearly doubled in the last dozen years, while in the 
previous twenty five it has quadrupled. Thus has printing been a magnet in stimulating in¬ 
vestment and has contributed to the upbuilding of the locality materially as well as esthetically. 

This section of Chicago may well be likened to the inner workings of a watch, one of the 
most important parts of which is the mainspring, as here is located the power which drives the 
machinery- and develops the energy that has made this the foremost city of the continent-the 
great printing center of Chicago 


Centenary of Charles Dickens 



T 


Birthplace of Charles Dickens 


k HERE is, doubtless, no spot on the surface of the globe where the name of 
Charles Dickens is held in higher reverence than in the United States. 
Possibly in the immediate atmosphere where his soulful creations were first 
made manifest there may be a closer local attachment, but, in the broader 
sense, the fervency of real love for the author who contributed so much to 
making the world better through his writings the affection for Dickens in our 
country is not dimmed although forty years have elapsed since his pen fell 
from his hand. 

Dickens was a native of Portsmouth, England, born there in 1812. Unusual 
interest is now being taken in the preparation for his centennial by lovers of 
his genius everywhere. The much revered author lies in Westminster Abbey, 
although in his will be expressed the wish that his obsequies be unostentatious 
and modest in their conduct, he desiring no public announcement of the time 
and place of his burial. The executors of Dickens did not regard the honor of a 
resting place in Westminster Abbey as inconsistent with the instructions contained in the will. 

Dickens was of humble parentage and in his childhood suffered privations that burned their 
recollections into his nature in a manner from yvhich he could not escape. Early manhood found 
him a shorthand reporter and from this journalism and authorship by gradual steps developed. 
"Boz" was the pen name under which many of his early sketches were written and in after lile 
the title had a firm place in the affections of thousands of his readers. 

The direct effect yvrought by Dickens of course is seen more in England than elsewhere as 
there the conditions which he thundered against were intrenched, but the interest stirred in every 
sympathetic breast for the wrongs and oppression of the poor, especially helpless children, is 
confined alone to yvhere the sun shines and language is a means of communicating thought. 
More than all other writers of his time he held up to the scorn of the justice-loyfing the yveak 
points in the administration of layv and pilloried moss-covered customs and usages with the vitriol 
of satire and denunciation of wrong yvhich at once brought about reforms in England, and 
these, yvhere applicable, spread throughout the world.

ideas stimulated by Dickens, and reforms en¬ 
couraged by him have not halted but have led to 
awakenings for better conceptions of life every¬ 
where. Exasperating and tiresome proceedings in 
the chancery courts, as reflected in “Bleak House,” 
wherein is pictured the circumlocution office, 
where there was so inuchdone to see that no prog¬ 
ress was made in adjustment of litigation that 
the suit of Jarndyce vs. Jarndyce will be pointed 
to while jurisprudence has a standing in men’s 
affairs. Dickens not only punctured the system 
but he drove the thick-skulled big wigs from 
public station. 

Dickens’ books all had a moral incentive and 
such irrelevancy or satire as was employed in 
some of his pages is warranted from the fact that 
it was not prompted by malice. That which was 
false he desired to have the illuminating rays 
of light turned on, he holding the subject before 
his batterv of ridicule until the riddling process 
was complete. His Christmas stories have 
charmed millions and for two generations have 
influenced minds wherever the beauty and sym¬ 
pathetic in human nature has lodgment. 

The complete works of Dickens have been 
translated into many languages, but the local 
color given to many of his productions are im¬ 
possible of the fullest enjoyment except to those 
familiar with the scenes and characters depicted. 

Their vividness and trueness to life are conceded and make Dickens more unique than any 
other author in our language. Many editions are being issued in honor of the great author's 
centenary, and thousands of the rising generation mav now be enrolled as lovers of Charles 
Dickens who never before have been given the opportunity to study the characters he drew 
and learn how much one person can do to make the world better through the influence of a book 

The Strand Magazine of London has inaugurated a movement having for its purpose the 
creation of a fund for the benefit of those heirs of the novelist who are in needy circumstances 
The desire is that all admirers of Dickens in England purchase a penny stamp and attach 
it to the volume or volumes which they may own. In the United States the denomination of 

the stamp is to be two cents, and it is expected that the 
amount raised will provide a fund of sufficient size to care 
for all who may be entitled to the annuity. Already 
much larger sums have been pledged to the Magazine 
from admirers in the United States. 

Dickens’ books netted him a substantial sum which 
he added to by readings in this and other countries. 
Poor investment of the funds resulted in losses, and to 
recoup these the Strand is pushing the stamp idea.

A Great Printing Institution 

Illv printing business invites attention, not alone lor the volume turned out, 
but for the inspiring examples of courage and perseverance the pioneers in 
the craft displaved under the severe trials confronting them a generation 
and more ago and which were overcome in a manner that supplies those 
surviving an eloquent subject. 

We have in mind one of the recognized institutions of the country in its 
line, that of Rand McNally & Co., which can be regarded as the connecting 
link in the typographic world with the methods of the ante-war period and 
the wonderful processes of the present day. 

The founder of the institution, the late Andrew McNally, became associ¬ 
ated with printing in Chicago more than a halt century ago, when the art w r as 
crude and its methods poor, yet he pointed his course in the direction of better 
work and higher skill, and lived to see many of his bright ideals become established standards. 
Mr. McNally was a native of the city of Armagh, in the north of Ireland, where he mastered 
the art of printing as well as book-binding in its varied details. At the age of 23 he came to 
this country and was attracted to Chicago on account of the prominence given its future even in 
that early day Shortly after coming to this city Mr. McNally engaged in business and in the 
course of a brief period he secured an interest in what was then the Tribune job office, located 
at 51-53 Clark street, whose manager was William H. Rand. Shortlv after Mr. Rand and 
Mr. McNally purchased the control of the establishment and in 1864 the co-partnership, the 
Rand-McNally Company, was formed, the partners being Messrs. Rand, McNallv and George 
A. Poole. 

In 1870 the firm leased from the city the school lot opposite McVieker’s Theatre, where the 
Boston Store is now located, and had the foundations laid for a big structure when the fire of 
18/1 interlered with the project for a short time. As an evidence of Mr. McNally’s determina¬ 
tion and his grasp of emergencies, it may be stated that while the conflagration was sweeping 
everything before it in the direction of Lincoln Park on the morning of Oct. 10, 1871, he bought 
outright the only complete printing office remaining in the city, which happened to be on the 
West Side, and at once began the work of rehabilitation by adding a full complement of presses, 
type, etc., and in three days opened again for business at No. 108 West Randolph street. Here 
was first installed the new process of “relief line engraving,” which method worked a revolution. 

Some twenty years ago the present site on Adams and Ouincv streets was acquired and a 
building costing approximately $1,000,000 was erected. It was one of the first strictly steel 
structures built in this country, and was recognized as the best-equipped building for its purpose 
in the west, but adequate as it was when erected, the firm is now arranging plans at the junction of 
Clark, Harrison and La Salle streets, to be ten stories and of the latest tvpe of fire-proof construc¬ 
tion. Mr. \\ . H. Rand withdrew Irom the company some twenty years ago. 

I lu resources ol the Rand-McNally Company in the varied branches of printing and engrav¬ 
ing. half-tone, three color process, binding, electrotyping, automatic devices in machinery and 
everything pertaining to publishing, are unexcelled in this country. Among the publications of 
the firm may be mentioned the Atlas of the World, school geographies, text books, books of gen¬ 
eral literature, Bankers Directory, Bankers’ Monthly and innumerable other publications. 

I his great house was built under the guiding hand of Andrew McNally, and there are few 
printing establishments on the Amercian Continent that can take rank with it either in the 
v ariety which it turns out or the amount of its product. Mr. McNally died on May 7, 1904, at 
his winter home, Passadena, Cal., his departure being recognized as a loss to the craft in all 
portions of the country. 




The Lakeside Press and Its Founder 

A ^ ancient philosopher centuries ago declared that “unconsciouslv 
-L a. and day by day we build our own monuments," and since this 
statement is of venerable origin and well founded besides, there is no 
one who has been identified with the art of printing in Chicago to 
whom it more fittingly applies than to the late R. R. Donnelley, 
who leaves as his enduring monument the Lakeside Press, an in¬ 
stitution which takes rank as among the country's great printing 
houses, lo study the fortune of the subject of this sketch from the 
aspiring youth in a country printing office in the Dominion of 
Canada to the development of lofty ambitions covering a period of 
more than forty years ol severe trials and splendid accomplishments, is in itself a liberal educa 
tion, but to ha\ e known him and witnessed his display of pluck and courage under the most 
trying circumstances is a greater privilege than is often enjoyed bv the average mortal. 

R. R. Donnelley marked out for himself the achievement of the highest standard of excellence 
in his calling as printer, and there was no departure in any branch of typography which did not 
find in him its warmest supporter; in fact in many of the preliminary stages of its progress he 
was the pioneer who blazed the way for its improvement in the days when the implements of 
production were crude and the taste ior good work was far Irom mature or refined. Mr. Don 
nelley s life was one ol struggles, and when vicissitudes were more plentiful than victories for 
more than a generation he held his position in this community against the calamities of war, 
fire and financial stress that would test the resistance power of a thousand, closing his career 
when his splendid ideals seemed almost within his grasp and when the city in which he had 
wrought so successfully had become a world-wonder metropolis with himself as one of the most 
respected of its citizens. II accomplishments in one's chosen vocation mav be regarded as the 
test of success truly the lile of Mr. Donnelley is one to commend to the struggling youth as an 
inspiring example in craftsmanship and as the model for every worthy endeavor. 

Mr. Donnelley was born in Hamilton, Canada, in 1S36, and at the age of 13 he began his 
printing experience, three years later being placed in the foreman's position in the office. In a 
few years he became a partner in the establishment and shortly thereafter he was given charge 
of the job department of the New Orleans Delta, one of the leading establishments of the South. 

I he great civil conflict broke out in all its fury in 1S61, and Mr. Donnellev's inherited antagonism 
to human slavery forced him from these surroundings and he again returned to Hamilton, where 
he once more embarked in business. Remaining in his native place three years, he was highly 
recommended to the consideration of Messrs. Church & Goodman, then established at Nos. 51 
and 53 LaSalle Street, Chicago, who gave him an interest in the firm, the name being changed 
to Church, Goodman & Donnelley, and in 1864, in the midst of the gigantic war of the rebellion, 
he here took up his real life work. 

Advancement became the watchword of the new house and it was but a brief period before it 
became the leading book and periodical publishing institution in the Western country, something 
like two-score of weekly, monthly and quarterly publications being regularly turned out from 
the firm's presses. So fast did business press upon the facilities of the house that it became 
necessary to obtain larger quarters, and the building at the southwest corner of Washington and 
Dearborn streets was leased where until a short time before the fire of 1871 the firm had come to 
be regarded as a notable landmark in the local printing world. When the conflagration occurred

the firm of Church, Goodman & Donnelley occupied the location now held by the Harris Trust 
Company, Monroe street. 

Recognizing possibilities which but few could see or comprehend in the publishing business, 
in connection with a number of capitalists Mr. Donnelley organized a company that had for its 
purpose the developing of many publishing enterprises in Chicago as well as competing with 
New \ ork and Boston tor work that had its origin here or in near by centers. This was launched 
in 1870, and the Lakeside Publishing and Printing Company was organized with a capital of 
$500,()()(), Mr. Donnelley becoming its manager. The site was selected at the corner of Clark and 
Adams streets, and almost before the corner stone was in place, all available space was spoken 
for by lessees who had a certain relationship to printing and publishing, showing even at that 
early day the grasp which Mr. Donnelley’s mind had on the logical grouping of branches of the 
printing business. 

Four of the contemplated six stories had been erected when the conflagration of 1N71 leveled 
the structure and made a smoldering heap of ruin of what was the most logical and ambitious 
aim of that period. Discouragements sufficient to break the spirit of a veteran army were piled 
up on the new venture, but mountainous as they were they were not powerful enough to prevail 
over the unquenchable vigor which animated R. R. Donnelley, and before the smoke had cleared 
awav he once more set about to start again in business. Four days after the calamity he had 
leased quarters on South Canal street where he put up the sign bearing his name until the affairs 
of the Lakeside Company could be arranged and started for the East to procure material with 
which to recoup his scattered fortunes caused by the conflagration. 

Everything tangible had gone up in smoke and while the Lakeside Company stockholders 
had sustained a severe blow they believed it possible to continue the splendid work which had 
been temporarily blocked if Mr. Donnellev would but lend his managerial ability to the enter 
prise. This he consented to do in connection with the responsibility of his own undertaking, 
and the summer of 1873 saw the new palatial home finished with his own interest merged in the 
enterprise of the company. Revival was rapid and the growth of printing was gratifying until 
the widespread financial depression retarded every effort. 

R. R. Donnelley was not of the substance that would yield and he took over the machinery 
and material of the organization, and in a few years he again overcome difficulties such as lew 
ever contended with in the world of printing, and with Alexander Loyd and Norman T. Cassette 
in 1877 he launched a new company from which has grown the present R. R. Donnelley & Sons 
Company with its thousand and one ramifications and a yearly output reaching into millions 
It is well inside the truth to state that any product bearing the Lakeside Press imprint can 
successfully challenge the typographic world for superiority of its execution and while its founder 
has gone to his reward he leaves worthy successors of his great name with a deservedly high 
reputation enjoyed conjointly in the new and old world. Surviving members of the family are 
Reuben H., Thomas E., Benjamin S., and Naomi. 

It was the dominating thought of the alert mind of the founder of the Lakeside Press to 
make Chicago not only a bookmaking center but to have it become the crystallized atmosphere 
of literature and learning, filling and stimulating the production of printing with an ever-increasing 
demand. In many respects Mr. Donnelley lived to see numerous features of this impulse realized 
and he more than any other one man contributed to this end. Some of the most important works 
ever turned out of a printing establishment have been executed at the Lakeside plant and many 
innovations looking to the highest development in craftsmanship have encouraging support in 
those bearing the honored Donnelley name. 

In an establishment as large as the Lakeside Press, it is understood that jurisdiction has to 
be divided into manv departments in order that multitudinous details may be economized and 




^Jrhttolog^ 


harmonious results be brought into cohesive alignment. Reuben H. Donnelley, the vice-president 
looks after much of the cumbersome and laborious end of the business, leaving to Ins brother, 
Thomas E the president of the institution, the burden of its supervision. Mr. Donnelley is 
recognized as an expert on what constitutes the highest standard of printing, and his judgment 
is regarded bv competent authorities everywhere as of the tirst class. 

For several years he has given much time and effort to the subject of training the immature 
and beginners in the fundamental essentials ot eralt life, and his work is attracting general atten¬ 
tion in our country, its merits having also penetrated the oldest establishments acioss the water. 
Mr. Donnelley holds to the vciw with a firmness which is more than tenacious that printing is the 
greatest adjunct and promoter ol education, and he maintains that the beginner s mental training 
should be conjoined and make a part ol the manual of the ait. hor this purpose a school ot 
instruction has been installed, the period of service being seven years. Eeerx branch ol produc¬ 
tion is to be taught m this period of service, and instead of the one-sided workman being turned 
out it will be possible to develop a symmetrical artisan whose ability will suggest the masters 
of old and whose training will assure capacity and skill because it was given the workman under 
scientific and consequently the most practical possibilities. 

Another member of the Donnelley family, Mr. Benjamin S., although not actively associated 
with his brothers in the big printerv is known far and wide tor his social attainments as well as 
his athletic standing, he having gained marked distinction for his achievements on the gridiron. 
He is regarded as authority by press and public in important track events and is consulted where 
the influence of manlv exercise has sway. Having traveled extensively in the old world, where 
his personalitv makes him welcome in the most exclusive circles, he is polished, clever and com¬ 
panionable and the life of every gathering where wholesome fellowship is appreciated. His 
stock of sturdv good humor makes him a typical Chicago gentleman, and he numbers his friends 
in all portions of the eountrv because of the unfailing supply of naturalness which he displays 
in all his relationships. 

A subject so intimately interwoven as is the history of the Donnelley house with the progress 
of printing in Chicago for the past half-century supplies a topic of commanding interest as well 
as one in which those pursuing the vocation can point to with that satisfaction which the recount¬ 
ing of honestly earned success always affords, but, emphatic as has been that success, it has been 
won by the master key which knows reverses only to surmount them and possesses the quality 
of capacity to make the most of the opportunities which lie in our path. This in brief is the true 
Chicago spirit and it has had its most striking exemplification in the rise of the Lakeside Press and 
the R. R. Donnelley & Sons Companv. 


The House of Caslon. 

The old house in Chiswell street, London, where the famous type-founder, William Caslon, 
known in the world of printing as Caslon I., set up his business in 1735, is now being pulled down, 
and a splendid building has been erected by the firm on the other side of the street. 

Caslon 1. was born at Halesowen, in W orcestershire, 1692, of Spanish parents, who appeared 
to have come to England from the Netherlands. W hen he began his life’s work type was 
received from Holland; but his success was such that he not only conquered the English 
market, but became famous on the Continent. 

William Caslon was apprenticed to an engraver ol gun locks and barrels. He set up in 
business in 1716, and began to make punches for tooling the covers of books. John Watts, a 
celebrated printer, happened to notice these tools, and employed him to make type-punches.

The Man Who Knows His Business 

ORTI1Y of consideration is the important influence which small 
things have in shaping our lives and which often carry us forward to 
distinction and material success. A well defined school of thought 
has classified this as fate, while others give it different designations. 
Call it what we may, it is strange how often an apparently trifling 
circumstance may mold our lives, modify our being and direct our 
footsteps along hitherto unexplored paths that lead into the rich 
vineyard of power and influence among our fellowmen. It is with 
this thought in mind that a subject deemed worthy of consideration 
at once absorbs our attention, and around whose efforts there is a 
stimulant and inspiration which speaks of things accomplished and 
obstacles overcome well worth the time and space given it. 

In the year 1856 two German youths met for the first time and the conjunction then formed, 
proved an epoch in both their lives, this meeting took place upon their depaiture lor a new and 
to them an unknown world, and just as they were about to embark on shipboard. So well estab¬ 
lished was the line of contact then that there has been no separation between the parties and they 
have maintained this relationship to the present. 1 hese youths were Sigmund Ullman and 
E. H. Wimpfheimer. Up to this meeting they had never seen each other, and in the fifty-five 
years that have gone by their activities have been yoked together in a common bond of fellowship 
that bids fair to remain unbroken for years to come. The house of Sigmund Ullman Co. has 
become one of the established institutions of the country in the manufacture of printing ink, and 
it sends its product all over the world. 

In 1866 Messrs. Ullman and Wimpfheimer in New York began supplying the American 
market with the finest grade of imported goods only, making a specialty of inks and bronzes 
used in the printing business, and after establishing extensive trade in this line of goods the house, 
in 1882, began the manufacture of printing ink on its own account. The masterful grasp of the 
details of the business which years of experience had enabled the firm to secure, and with the 
ever growing demand for a high grade article of printing ink which the development of the coun¬ 
try's printing industry had brought about, business vastly increased in volume, with the result 
that the Sigmund Ullman Co. for more than a quarter of a century have remained in the lead. 

The house now exports its goods to all portions of the world, and every printing center of 
importance is familiar with the quality of the Ullman ink, the firm now shipping to Germany 
alone a larger variety of goods as well as in greater quantities than were originallv imported. 

Naturally high standard goods make the selling end of the problem an easy proposition, 
but to E. H. Wimpfheimer, in charge of the Chicago branch, probably the best known man in the 
printing ink world, great credit is due, his knowledge of the intricacies and vexations concerning 
the best results to be obtained from a certain grade ol ink being a valuable 1 actor to the customer. 

Mr. \\ impfheimer is a man ot rare social qualities. Grounded in the dignity surrounding 
the gentleman ol the old school, he isee er approachable to anv cause worthy his attention, and 
he numbers his friends b\ the legion ot those who have been privileged to make his acquaintance. 
He is a member of the Order of the Loyal Legion, and is a director of the Chicago Athletic Club, 
in which he is serving his second three-year term; the South Shore Country Club, and the Germania 
Club, Chicago. He is also a member of the New York Liederkranz. 

No greater tribute could be paid to Mr. Wimpfheimer than to say that he is always the 
gentleman and the man who knows his business.

Printing Ink—Its Manufacture 

By George H. Barnard 



P RINTING ink was used long before the printing press was 
invented, and while every age has seen great improvements, 
while of course the ink of today is vastly better than that used in 
the days of Caxton, we must give the early printers credit for 
the really good results which they obtained from the crude 
material at their disposal. There are many old books in exist¬ 
ence today the ink on which will compare favorably for per¬ 
manency and blackness with that on some of the editions now 
just leaving the press. 

Printing ink is both mechanical and chemical in its construc¬ 
tion, that is, some of the mixtures are made either way. The 
main ingredients are linseed oil, rosin oil, rosin, carbon and lamp 
blacks and the different pigment colors which are used to make 
colored inks. 


Linseed oil is the product of flaxseed crushed by hydraulic pressure, after which it is allowed 
to stand a certain length of time so that all foreign matter in it will settle at the bottom. It is 
then put into kettles and boiled down at a heat of 480 degrees to the consistency required. The 
longer it is boiled the thicker and tackier it becomes. This product is litho varnish and it is now 
ready for use. The boiling takes out all grease from the oil and makes it print sharp and clean 
Iroin the type or printed surface. 

The vapor distilled from rosin becomes rosin oil in the condenser. By the addition of rosin, 
which is melted into the oil in kettles, rosin varnish is obtained. To get the required consistency, 
more or less rosin per gallon is added to the oil. Soft inks, such as newspaper and halftone inks, 
require a softer varnish than book or job inks. 


Carbon blacks are made by burning natural gas on slate plates, after which it is scraped off 
and put in bags ready for use. Different gases and different processes of burning produce differ¬ 
ent qualities and also long or short blacks. The long blacks are those which make the flowing 
and easily distributing ink and the short blacks produce the short thick or buttery ink. By using a 
long black it is possible to grind into the varnish a larger percentage of color and thereby produce 
a more intense black than if a short black was used. By using a short black a cheap ink may be 
made ot the same body as a higher priced ink. Because an ink is thin it does not follow that it 
is not of an intense color, nor is a thick ink necessarily an intense black 

Rosm IS a natural product of the pine tree found largely in the states of the South. Dry 
colors are usually a chemical or manufactured product obtained by the use of chemicals and 
dyestuffs. Dry colors are produced by the use of aniline dyes with the different bases upon which 
they are precipitated. These after being washed several times and a mordant added, are put 
through a Alter press and the water partly crushed out after which they are spread on trays until 
the> are thoroughly dry, when they are ready for use. In some colors, however, it has been 
ascertained that it is better to use them in the wet form, that is to grind them when they are 
about oO per cent color and 50 per cent water. In this way with some colors a more brilliant 
effect is produced than can be obtained in the dry state. These are called pulp colors and they 
have had a large run in the past few years.

ter the materials are provided the real mechanical part of ink making begins that is the 
mixing and grinding. A varnish is first put into the mixing machine and the bllek 
or y co or attet an a so the dryer and any other material that goes to complete the 
mu a. In some inks for instance, the finest of halftone blacks, as many as nine 
ingredients are put ,n to obtain the results necessary to stand the test to which it mav be 
subjected by the pressman. After being well mixed in power driven mixers the ink is transferred 
to the mk mill, which is a machine composed of three chilled iron rollers, of which the two back 
ones rotate toward each other and the front one runs in the opposite direction, that is, toward 
the front ol the machine where the ink is scraped off by a knife and runs down the apron of the 
nn into a pan underneath. The roll of the ink mill weigh from 900 to 1,500 pounds each, ac¬ 
cording to length and diameter. The rollers of some ink mills are ground hollow so as to admit 
ol cold water or steam being run through them on account of some very delicate colors which 
would be spoiled or discolored by getting too hot from the machine. Inks are ground from two 
to twelve times, according to the hardness of the material or the thickness of the ink. Bronze 
blue, geranium lakes, blue lakes and green lakes are the hardest of the colors, while gloss and 
job blacks are the hardest of the blacks. 

All inks, no matter what the price, are ground as fine as possible in order to obtain the best 
results on the press and paper. It is a common mistake among users to assume that because an 
ink is low priced it is not properly ground. The finest of halftone inks are just as intense in color, 
or more so than job inks, but on account of being ground in softer varnish, to meet the require¬ 
ments of coated or enamel papers, do not have the consistency of job blacks that are ground in 
stiff varnish so as to hold on linen and bond paper. 

1 here have been many new inks brought out in recent years to meet the requirements of the 
printing business, among which may be mentioned: cover inks, double-tone and process inks. 
Each ol these inks has created a new and larger field for both the printer and the ink manufacturer, 
and the process and double-tone inks have made possible illustrative and reproductive effects 
scarcely thought of a few years ago. One discouraging feature in bringing out anvthing new in 
the ink business is that as soon as it appears other ink manufacturers, either bv experiment or 
chemical analysis, are soon able to produce a like result and outside of selling his proportionate 
share of the goods the first to install the new idea does not reap a sufficient financial return from 
his invention to make his investment in the product at all satisfaetorv or what he is justly 
entitled for his many failures until perfection is secured. 


The production of a daily newspaper is a gigantic enterprise such as few understand. 
A story is told and even if not true, it gives point to this fact in a forcible manner. 

A man entertained the idea of starting a daily newspaper and he realized that it would 
take more money than he could possibly command ; so he conceived the idea of communi 
eating with the devil, who, it is supposed, controls most of the good things of this world, 
in addition to unlimited financial resources. This printer therefore agreed to sell his soul to 
Satan for all the money he would require. The contract was about to be closed when his 
Satanic Majestv casuallv asked what he might need all this money for, and upon learning it 
was for the purpose of establishing a daily newspaper threw up his hands and would not sign. 
It was too doubtful a proposition even for the prince of darkness.

The Printing Art leaves very little excuse for 
ignorance. 

Good books are the closest and best of friends. 
Many starve the mind and feed the body. 
Books are as light brought into dark places. 
Nothing is calculated to satisfy like a good 
book. 

It fills the mind. 

It soothes and lifts us out of ourselves. 

It transports us to realms of fancy, more 
actual for the time than our present sur 
roundings. 

It takes us from the present and occupies our 
minds with the future. 

It lifts us up out of our present environments 
and surrounds and transports us to the 
planes of thought. 

It places in our grasp the whole world and 
pictures to our minds not only the best 
thoughts of men, but scenes that men have 
visited throughout material space. 

It will carry the thoughts in speculative 
science where no foot has trod, and leave 
the mind in a state of ecstasy that is onlv 
enjoyed by the student. 

Books are thoughts, and, like ourselves, some 
good, some bad; and it is for the reader to 
discriminate and choose for himself. 

Books are so cheap that they are sometimes 
discredited, but their value to the one who 
knows and appreciates them is incalcu 
lable. 

Books enable us to live in the past, to dwell 
in the present and revel in the future. 

They are lamps to light our feet either into 
the pathways of righteousness or to the 
darkest depths of perdition. 


The world is wide but requests for copies of 
Printology come from the most distant quarters 
of the globe. 


Numerous requests from various branches of 
the supply trade for advertising space in 
Printology has rendered it necessary to inform 
our friends, and we greatly appreciate their 
kindness, that while the pages of our house 
publication are always open for the dissemi¬ 
nation of views and the development of every 
shade of printorial thought, space in its columns 
is one thing that money will not buy. It 
should not be understood that advertising is 
not a legitimate as well as the greatest power of 
salesmanship; in fact this is what Printology is 
endeavoring to do for the institution which 
has launched it, and since the Regan Printing 
House feels that it can better subserve the 
beautiful in the graphic arts by taking its own 
medicine in doses compounded in its own 
laboratory and prescribed by its own doctors, 
there necessarily can be little chance to find 
fault with the wisdom of the treatment. 

The genius of business should be able to 
smooth down its own pathway while typo¬ 
graphic excellence and adornment need the 
fostering encouragement of stimulation and 
protection. The useful can generally care for 
itself, the beautiful must be nourished in the 
well spring of affection. Such favors as Print¬ 
ology extends to its friends are prompted by a 
hospitality that years of satisfactory relation¬ 
ship have crystallized and therefore cannot be 
paid for by them only with the coin of ap¬ 
preciation for its efforts in their behalf. 

It has been the aim of this publication since 
it was established to keep alive a feeling of 
respect and veneration for the ancient land¬ 
marks of the guild of printing in Chicago, and in 
furtherance of this our pages from time to 
time have contained a number of pictures of 
noted representative printers. 

Our associates in the various branches of the 
printing trades are invited to make suggestions 
that in their judgment may add to the interest 
which the pages of Printology can advance, and 
all these will be highly appreciated.

^OR a century 
at least the 
London Times has 
been known as 
‘‘The Thunderer,” 
an appellation 
which conveys an 
idea of the hold it 
had on the minds 
of the reading 
public of Great 
Britain. It is 
doubtful if there 
ever was a news¬ 
paper which so continuously influenced senti 
ment and shaped governmental poliev as did 
the London Times for more than two genera¬ 
tions at least, but like all earthly things, the 
1 imes had to bend and yield to the inevitable, 
which new conditions brought about and from 
the very pinnacle of its loftiness it found it 
necessary to recognize competition and seek 
business in a manner that other newspapers 
had adopted. To the conservative John Bull 
this had a shocking effect and the Times 
control finally slipped from the Walter 
family who had conducted it through four 
generations. 

Intense rivalry for the Times ownership set 
in some few years ago. and the story is revived 
in interest through the death early in April of 
Moberly Bell, who for more than twenty years 
held the important position of managing 
director of the paper. The Walter heirs, in 
the effort to save something from the wrecked 
prestige which the Parnell libel suit had 
caused, sought to have the wealthy Cyril 
Pearson, a publisher of more or less cheap litera¬ 
ture, head a syndicate and get a majority of 
the Thunderer’s stock. Bell did not relish that 
sort of connection for the paper, and he cir¬ 
cumvented the move by presenting the proposi¬ 
tion squarely to Alfred Harmsworth (Lord 
Northcliffe), who owns a score or more of 


daily newspapers in England and who would 
be willing to mortgage his interest in the 
Celestial abode if lie could get a clutch on the 
Times by so doing. Managing Director Bell 
told Harmsworth his mission and found the 
enterprising publisher willing to place to his 
credit in the Bank of England a million and a 
half of dollars to go out and buy the stock. 
This was accomplished and the public awakened 
one foggy morning three years ago to find the 
Walter family dispossessed of their control and 
the same in the keeping of Lord Northcliffe. 
Bell was retained and the Times has gradually 
adapted itselt to inevitable changes, but so 
slow have these been installed that but few 
would observe them, unless seen through ex- 
pert vision.

John Walter The Second 










^rmtologj) 


English newspaper literature without refer 
enee to the London Times would be comparable 
to a banquet of sawdust instead of a fourteen 
course dinner washed down by Pomerv Sec. 
Its founder, John Walter, felt he had a mission 
to perform and a message to convey, the Eng¬ 
lish public fully accepting him at his word and 
for more than a century and a quarter the 
premises at Printing House Square, London, 
has been given over to the printing of the 
London Times, although the original name 
which the shorter appellation superseded was 
known as the Daily Universal Register. This 
designation lasted three years, and on January 
1, 1788, the harbinger of power, “The Times,” 
was capped above the elongated title and after 
a brief period the last was cast into the un¬ 
known drift. 

The roster of the four generations of the 
Walter family in the order of their activities 
reads: John Walter the first, 1788-1812; John 
Walter the Second, 1812-1847; John Walter 
the Third, 1847-1894; Arthur Fraser Walter, 
(fourth proprietor), 1894-1908. Those inter¬ 
ested in the subject of what a great newspaper 
can do to mold public sentiment —and who are 
not interested in so important a subject—should 
know that to the second John Walter should 
perhaps be given the greatest honor for what 
the Times came to be known as the defender of 
the rights of the people, although the tounder 
of the Thunderer served a two-year sentence 
in jail and sustained a fine of $250 for speaking 
disrespectfully of the Duke of York, the then 
son of King George. “Impregnably honest and 
fearlessly truthful” was declared to be the 
fitting and characteristic traits of both John 
Walter the First and John Walter the Second. 
As his father’s successor he invested the 1 iines 
with an atmosphere of incorruptibility that 
neither pelf nor the blandishments ol preferred 
seats among the powerful could sway. He was 
a man of culture and immense resources, and 
was in fact the pioneer in gathering news such 
as we see in such perfection today. It must 
be remembered that there were no telegraph. 


lines, no steamships, no telephones, or anv of 
the modern facilities which almost work 
automatically to aid the modern newspaper. 

It was also the good fortune of the different 
scions of the Walter family in the century and a 
quarter in which they conducted and controlled 
the I imes to have in the seat of authority a 
number of the best qualified editors who were 
installed in the responsibility of fixing the 
paper’s policy. These men were Thomas 
Barnes and John Delane. Barnes occupied the 
editorial chair from 1817 to 1841, and Delane 
held his position until 1877. Two others, Mr. 
Buckle and Moberlv Bell fill in the space to the 
present. 

Possibly the greatest tribute ever paid to a 
newspaper was offered more than a half-centurv 
ago by Bulwer Lytton in speaking of the 
London Times when he declared: 

“If I desired to leave to remote posterity 
some memorial of existing British civilization, 
I would prefer not our docks, not our railways, 
not our public buildings, not even the palace 
in which we hold our sittings. I would prefer 
a file of the Times.” 


Presence of Mind 

Joseph E. G Ryan, the Chicago story 
teller, was on a train coming across the conti 
nent that was held up near Reno. He says: 
“When the robbers came in the front end of 
the car, wearing masks and commanding 
everybody to shell out, I noticed two drum¬ 
mers who sat at the far end of the car 
They had opposite seats. As the robbers 
came down the center of the car and all the 
passengers obligingly shelled out. the two 
drummers became very much excited. One 
of them tried to stuff his money in his shoe. 
A robber saw him and harshly commanded 
him to stop it. Just before the robbers 
reached the drummers one of them dug into 
his pocket, pulled out a roll of bills, took off 
three or four and handed them to his friend 
across the aisle, saying hoarsely: ‘Exstein, 
here’s dot fifty tollars I owe you.' 



Men We Miss 


T HE death of F. A. Barnard of the firm 
of F. A. Barnard & Son, Chicago, marks 
the departure of one of the landmarks 
in the printing ink industry, as well as the 
closing chapter of a career of activity and 
usefulness that has but few counterparts in 
any line in this country. 



FRANK A. BARNARD 


The deceased was born Jan. 17, 1838, in 
Munster. Germany, and lived in the Fatherland 
until he reached his 18th year when he came 
to the United States, settling in New York 
Citv, connecting himself with the firm of 
John G. Lightbody. then an established ink 
house, he soon displayed a grasp of the 
science of the manufacture which made the 
goods of the house sought for because of their 
reliable qualities. 

Recognizing the broad possibilities, which 
the Chicago field afforded Mr. Barnard came 


west in 1870 and formed the firm of Carter & 
Barnard, which continued in business under 
this name for thirty years, Mr. Carter retiring in 
1900. Desiring to be relieved ol some ol the 
burdens of business, Mr. Barnard formed the 
present firm of F. A. Barnard & Son, upon his 
partner’s withdrawal, he placing in the hands 
of his son George the responsibility of the 
growing trade. \\ ithin the last year his 
health became impaired and the end came 
peacefully on Dec. 1st, 1910. 

Mr. Barnard represented the highest type 
of the business man ot the former generation, 
he being conservative, conscientious and es¬ 
pecially interested in his trade, many struggling 
printers finding their best friend in his thought¬ 
ful sympathy for their welfare. It may be 
truthfully stated that the firm of Barnard & 
Son has customers on its books who have 
bought from it in all the years it has been 
established. The passing of one so highly 
respected in the business world will be difficult 
to fill, but he leaves a monument in the recol¬ 
lection of those surviving in the splendid traits 
of manhood which marked him in this life. 


ADAM CRAIG 

Printing, publishing and literary circles 
sustained a severe shock when the announce¬ 
ment was made that Adam Craig, vice-president 
of the Jacobsen Publishing Company had been 
fatally stricken. While on his way to the office 
of the company on the morning of May 2, Mr. 
Craig was seized with an attack of dizziness and 
never regained consciousness, expiring a short 
time later. 

There were few men in the printing trades 
who were better known and none more highly 
regarded than Adam Craig. For forty vears 
he had been an active factor in the printing and 
publishing activities of Chicago and his passing 
will leave a void in many circles that will be 
difficult to fill. 

Mr. Craig was born in Leith, Scotland, May 
17, 1847, and at the age of 11 he entered the 








^rintologg 


printing establishment of Messrs. Blackie & 
Sons, Glasgow, then one of the most important 
institutions of its kind in Great Britain. Here 
he served the required seven years of indenture 
and desiring a broader field for the display of 
the knowledge he had obtained of the art he 
listened to the call from over the water and in 
the spring of 1871 he landed in Chicago and 
accepted employment in the office of Robert 
Fergus, one of the pioneer typographers of this 
city. 

Desiring to embark in business on his own 
account, Mr. Craig formed a co-partnership 
with two others and under the name of Bryant, 
Walker & Craig, the new firm was among the 
first to establish business in the heart of the 
burned district after the fire of 1871, the office 
being located on Lake Street near Franklin. 
Business changes supervened and after a time 
he conducted an enterprise under the name 
of the “Craig Press,” special effort being de¬ 
voted to fine work, some of the specimens 
turned out showing an excellence of execution 
which commanded high indorsement. 

For several years Mr. Craig was engaged in 
the compilation and publication of a number of 
popular volumes, among which were the 
“Casket of Literary Gems;” “Casket of Poetical 
Gems;” “Room at the Top;” “Chicago’s 
Dark Places” and others, all of which found 
recognition for many years all over the country. 

Mr. Craig, besides a leaning toward the 
literary side of the printing and publishing 
business, composed many sacred songs, several 
of which are to be found in music books pub¬ 
lished in the interest of religious societies, and 
are still held in esteem. Several songs are also 
to his credit in the musical field. 

For some years the deceased was precentor 
and leader of singing at the Jefferson Park 
Presbyterian Church and in the Beethoven 
Society was much interested in the musical 
development of Chicago. For nineteen years 
he had been connected with the Sunday School 
of the First Presbyterian Church, Chicago, as 
leader in their singing and until a short time 
before his death was active in this kind of work. 


Some fourteen years ago Mr. Craig became 
associated with “Hide and Leather," the lead¬ 
ing journal of its class, published bv R. C. 
Jacobsen, and his literary bent and practical 
knowledge of printing and publishing have 
been of value in the development of the business 
connected with the various enterprises of the 
company. Upon the incorporation of the 
company, of “Hide and Leather,” under the 
name of the Jacobsen Publishing Companv, Mr. 
Craig was appointed vice president and his 
work was of a character to add to the value and 
usefulness of the various publications issued bv 
this house. 

The deceased was married in 1876 to Grace 
Dalby, daughter of Thomas A.Dalbv, a business 
man of Watertown, Mass. Two sons were 
born to them, one of whom, a voung man of 
great promise, died some vears ago. The 
surviving son holds a position with the Thomas 
A. Dalby Co., and inherits some of the musical 
and literarv tastes of his much lamented father 




ADAM CRAIG 





Ancient Newspaper Specimens 


I T IS AN interesting study to examine the newspapers of past generations and to dwell as 
it were in the moss-grown atmosphere of antique journalism, at the period when the 
■ founder of a paper would approach his task with an awesomeness that one would expect to 
see evinced in the event of a monarch succeeding to a throne 01 a great principle ol nature >em ft 


discovered. 

Launching a newspaper a century ago was an affair of great consequence to (Ik community 
and state, and since keeping the enterprise alloat was about the most difficult task imaginable, it 
is at least becoming for those of the present to view the pioneers with a degree ol veneration and 
respect Libraries and museums gi\e careful housings to such rare specimens as have withstood 
the inroads of time, and “Printology” is enabled to present a trinity of facsimiles quite worthy of 
being transmitted to future generations. 

In the order of age the Ulster County Gazette, printed at Kingston, Ulster County, New 
York, more than one hundred and ten years ago, is worthy of inspection for its uniqueness alone. 
The paper in its original form was a four-page affair, four columns to a page and contained the 
account of the burial of George Washington, whose death took place on Dec. 14, 1/99. 4 he 

reader will observe the date of the paper, Jan. 4, 1800, and naturally conclude that news lacilities 
were difficult to obtain and patronage evidently none too generous. The publishers, Samuel 
Freer N Son, managed to hold their base for a considerable time, and while they never took 
rank as among the opulent citizens of Kingston, they have left an attractive reminder that they 
were engaged in something most worthv, viz.: disseminating the news of the day under circum¬ 
stances that were calculated to discourage even those of the most determined of purpose. 


The replica in somewhat poorlv executed form of the Illinois Herald of Dec. 19, 1S14, is 
submitted to the reader. This paper was not the first publication started in Illinois, there being 
one other previous to its advent, published at Vincennes. The Illinois Herald began its career at 
Kaskaskia. Randolph County, in 1M4, which was then the territorial seat of government. The 
capital was afterward removed to Vandalia, the temptation being sufficiently strong to induce the 
Illinois Herald to follow in its wake. The government land office was established at Kaskaskia, 
and at the time the specimen herewith submitted was turned out, Dec. 19, 1814, statehood was 
four vears awav. Illinois was admitted into the federal union as a state in 1818, and the Herald 
was the harbinger of the fact. 

The third specimen supplied is one of special interest to Chicagoans, it being the facsimile of 
the pioneer publication in this city. John Calhoun was the editor and John Wentworth was the 
proprietor. The paper was conducted as a weekly from Nov. 26, 1833 to February 24, 1840, 
when it developed into a daily. This enterprise continued until Julv 24, 1861, when Wentworth 
disposed of the Democrat to the Tribune. The Democrat early espoused the cause of Andrew 
Jackson. Old Hickory , and withdrew from affiliation with the Democratic party when the 
territories of Kansas and Nebraska were organized under what was known as the Kansas-Nebraska 
bill and which was the stimulating influence that brought the Republican party into existence. 
Certainly the ancient specimens will be received with a recognition of welcome at least. 

The older generation of Chicagoans are familiar with the many idiosyncrasies of Pub¬ 
lisher Wentworth (••Long John") and his Boswell, the late Joseph K. C. Forrest, who for 
many years edited the Democrat. Forrest was an educated and cultivated writer, and often 
clashed with Wentworth's raw methods. The office of the paper was at No. 45 La Salle 
street, in a building owned by Wentworth, which was known as "Jackson Hall". "Long John” 
was the only newspaper proprietor who possessed wealth sufficient to own his own building.

WASHINGTON ENTOMBED. 

Georjc Town, D:c. 20. 

On Wednesday lad, the mortal part ol 
WASHINGTON the Great—the Father 
of lits Country and the Friend of man, was 
consigned to the tomb, with solemn honors 
and funeral pomp. 

A multitude of persons aflembled, from 
many miles round, at Mount Vernon, the 
choice abode and lad residence of the il 
ludrious chief. There were the groves— 
the spacious avenues, the beautiful and 
sublime scenes, the mble manfnn—but, 
alas 1 the augud inhabitant wis now no 
more. That great soul was gone. His 
mortal part was there indeed; but ah! In.v 
affecting! hov awful the speiVicle of such 
worth and greatness, thus, to mortal eyes, 
fallen!—Yes! fallen? fillen! 

In the long and lofty Portico, where oft 
the Hero-walked in all lus glory, now lay 
the Ihrouded corpse. Tne countenance 
dill composed and serene, seemed to de¬ 
press the dignity of the spirit, which lately 
dwelt in that lifeless form. There those 
who paid the lad sad honours to the bene¬ 
factor of his country, took an impressive — 
a farewell view.

Simply a Question of Tonnage 


I N IHIvS age of mechanical development 
and adjustment in the field of industrial 
production, we speak in the vocabulary of 
tonnage, the idea of ounces and pounds having 
long been left at the post. Thus we say that the 
total output of the country's steel mills for the 
past year was 27,000,000 tons, that the annual 
haul of the transportation lines for the twelve 
months under consideration was a certain 
number of billions of tons, and that the paper 
mills of the United States manufactured 
something more than four million tons for the 
year. Only a glutton for figures has the grasp 
of these almost incomprehensible totals, yet 
these things are kept with a regard for accuracy 
by many living and breathing gradgrinds that 
we stand amazed as we contemplate their 
interest in a subject which is not onlv attractive 
but is really the barometer from which the 
commercial and financial worlds can strike an 
average as to business conditions. 

Of course, in a general way we must accept 
the conclusion that printing is the stimulant 
of business activity, and without it industry 
would droop and die from inanition, and while 
we cannot follow its poulticing power through 
the thousand ramifications which it travels, 
vet we can at least go to the primary lap of the 
course over which a large and important 
volume of its tonnage enters, viz.: the Chicago 
Postoffice, and weigh in, as it were, for the 
preliminary power which it is to display. 

The Regan Printing House keeps an accurate 
account of its output from day to day, and the 
subjoined statement for the months of Febru¬ 
ary and March, 1911, would indicate that the 
wheels have been revolving with considerable 
degree of speed. 1 he statement trom the 
mailing department of the institution is in 
harmony with the figures copied from the 
official reports of the postoffice authorities, and 
shows the important service which our postal 
facilities render to everyday activities. 

For the purpose of enlightening our readers 
as well as for the importance of the subject 


itself, we give the daily transactions of the 
Regan establishment in the matter of mailable 
output and when it is understood that there are 
many big printeries in Chicago which are 
feeding Uncle Sam's mail cars with nourish 
ment it is no wonder that the Chicago's post 
office has attained the first rank in point of 
first class mail (the subordinate schedules 
beingfactors in creating first class receipts),and 
that the time is not far off when all departments 
will outrank New York City. A large percent 
age of this mail is routed and placed in sacks 
ready for its destination, and is without doubt 
a source of tremendous profit to the government. 

The statement for February and March shows 
that there were handled 2,838,631 pieces, re 
quiring 29,331 mail bags to contain the output. 
The total weight of mail delivered in these 
two months from the house was 773 tons. 

In analvzing this output we find that the 
weight of product, 773 tons, was over 15] tons 
a day. Reduced to pounds there was a total of 
1,546,000 pounds. Figuring on 60 pounds of 
paper to the ream (32x44 size), there were 
25,766 reams of paper run through the presses. 
Allowing 500 sheets to the ream, we have a grand 
total of 13,383,000 sheets handled, and since 
the sheets were 44 inches long the lineal space 
covered 588,852,000 inches. This in feet would 
require a carpet 49,071,333 feet long to cover 
the space over which the paper would spread, 
or if expressed in miles we find the striking 
total of 9,294 miles, or considerably greater 
space than the diameter of the earth. The 
weight of ink on this ocean of paper was 
approximately two tons. 

How the Chinaman Saves His Face 

According to a Paris newspaper the following is 
the translation of the "rejection slip" employed by 
a Chinese editor : "We have read your manuscript 
with infinite delight. By the sacred ashes of our 
ancestors, we swear that we have never read such a 
splendid piece of writing. But if we printed it his 
majesty the emperor, our most mighty ruler, would 
order us to take it as a model and never print any¬ 
thing inferior. As this would not be possible in less 
than a thousand vears, we, with great regret, return 
thy divine manuscript and ask a thousand pardons'’’ 



Personality in Business 

*Adam Craig in Hide and Leather 


P ERSONALITY is that distinguishing 
characteristic which differentiates men 
in business, public and social life. Some 
are gifted by nature with a striking phvsique 
and generous bodily proportions, always a 
valuable asset to any man in any sphere of life, 
for “avoirdupois counts.” This fact often im¬ 
presses people more than the conversational 
qualities of its possessor. Other men have at¬ 
tractive facial characteristics—features that 
are in marked contrast to those of the ordinary 
crowd. Such men are noticeable because of 
their peculiarities. Others again are gifted with 
line conversational powers, and are good 
talkers and reasoners on the business proposi¬ 
tions which they have to offer. Thevare always 
apparently good natured, with cheerful visage 
a joy to behold. To these men people are in 
some indefinable way attracted. 

PERSONALITY AS A Rt'SINESS ASSET. 

It is said of the late Philip Armour, the great 
packer, that he never missed an opportunity of 
securing the best men possible as workers in his 
various enterprises, and the following is told of 
an insurance man who managed to secure an 
interview with him. The insurance solicitor 
was a man of fine physique, tall, and well 
dressed—a man who would impress people 
anywhere by his courteous manner. He had 
managed to break through the cordon of door¬ 
keepers and others employed to preserve the 
quietness of Mr. Armour’s sanctum sanctorum. 
He had. by his adroitness, almost hypnotized 
the doorkeepers, and without card of intro¬ 
duction somehow was finally ushered into Mr. 
Armour’s private office. 

“Good morning.” said the packer. “But 
first tell me, how you managed to get in here.” 

The solicitor said it was rather difficult to 
explain, but not so difficult as it seemed when 
he started out. 

I sim p!y determined that I must see you, 
and here I am." He talked with Mr. Armour 
on his insurance proposition, and at the close of 

*Mr. Craigs article was on. 


the interview the packer magnate was so im¬ 
pressed with the man’s personality, pertinacity 
and conversational powers that he offered him a 
position carrying with it a large salary, and this 
was accepted. "For,” said Mr. Armour, “tile 
man who can do what you have done in this 
instance will be a useful man in our establish¬ 
ment. And it is said that the man made 
good, demonstrating Mr. Armour’s ability of 
putting ' the right man in the right place.” 

Talking recently with the head of a large 
jobbing house, the head partner pointed to one 
of his salesmen, saying: “There is a young 
man who has been with us about a year, yet he 
has made more sales and has a larger number of 
customers who prefer to deal with him than 
any other two salesmen on the force.” 

While a pleasing personality is valuable in 
business, its possessors are often subject to 
temptations by unscrupulous business men who 
use them to further unjust and unfair enter¬ 
prises, and who offer them exceptionally at¬ 
tractive inducements to secure their services. 

1 here are salesmen whose winning ways and 
persuasive manners enable them to sell goods 
and carry out schemes with men who really 
have no intention of embarking upon them. 

1 he\ seem to have a power, as it were, to 
hypnotize their victims, leaving the latter to 
wake up afterwards and exclaim: “I don’t 
know why I went into this thing, or pur 
chased these articles. Certainly I do not 
want them.” 

There are many such people; they are man’s 
personality unjustly used. Such men should 
think, ponder and leave for future consider¬ 
ation all propositions which promise much in 
return tor small outlay of money. 


I he world’s progress from generation to 
generation may be gauged by the volume of 
printing turned out. Judged by this standard, 
the art of printing was never so highly appre¬ 
ciated as it is today. 

of a series on this topic. 



Ben Franklin 


I X the City of Boston, 205 years ago (Jan¬ 
uary 17), Ben Franklin, philosopher, dip 
lomat, inventor, statesman and scientist, 
was born, the son of a humble New England 
soap maker. 

In the 121 years that have intervened since 
his death the world has moved forward so fast 
that could he have realized his wish to be em¬ 
balmed in a cask ol Madeira wine and recalled 
to life at this time to see what progress his 
country had made in the interim, the maze of 
epoch-making improvements wrought in the 
arts and sciences, especially in the field of 
electricity, interest in which he did so much to 
stimulate, would appall him with their splendor. 

In the contemplation of the thousand new 
wonders that would conlront him on every side, 
the significance of his trite answer, “Of what 
use is a new-born babe?” made to the man who 
contemptuously asked him of what value to 
humanity were certain experiments then being 
made by Montgolfier in ballooning, would come 
back to him with startling emphasis. 

His country, no longer limited to the original 
thirteen states, with their circumscribed area of 
827,844 square miles, spreads its starrv em¬ 
blem ol freedom over two continents, embrac¬ 
ing 3,026,879 square miles. Its population has 
grown from 5,000,000 to 92,000,000; its annual 
receipts from $20,700,000 to $1,297,035,933; 
its yearly expenditures from a nominal $17,000- 
000 to $1,210,000,000 and its public debt from 
an insignificant $75,000,000 to the stupendous 
sum of $1,046,449,185. 

What a curious world this would seem to 
Franklin if he could come back todav? In vain 
would he search for those features of the 
civilization with which he was familiar—the 
sailing ship, the stage coach, the ponv express, 
the tallow dip and the primitive, plain people 
he once knew 7 and loved so well. 

How his eyes would fill with amazement and 
his heart swell with pride in the stupendous 
achievements of his countrymen, who taking 
inspiration from his simple kite experiments 
whereby he demonstrated for an incredulous 


world llie analogy between lightning and 
electricity, have made the strange force he 
coaxed down Irom the clouds suppliant to 
every need of mankind. 

Assuming that he could come back, trulv 
might lie say in the light of the stirring picture 
that would unfold itself to his enraptured 
vision, "Of what use is a new-born babe?” 

Men no longer go to bed with the sun. Bv 
means ol the mysterious agenev he tempted 
from the ether into his Leyden jar they trans¬ 
form night into day, travel from town to town 
by phantom-like trollev, automobiles, high- 
powered electric and swift steam trains. 

Palatial steamships transport them from 
port to port, traveling in a single dav as far as 
the old wind-jammer w 7 ent in fourteen. Be¬ 
neath the sea the agile submarine cavorts with 
the denizens of the deep, and aloft the nimble 
aeroplane soars with the skill of the eagle and 
the fleetness of the hawk. 

Excoriated from many pulpits for inter¬ 
fering with the prerogative of the Great 
Jehovah, by his invention of the rod for secur¬ 
ing buildings against the danger of lightning, 
which the aggrieved clergymen declared to be 
God's means of punishing the sinful, Franklin 
might w T ell consider himself a trivial transgres¬ 
sor against divine privilege in the face of 
Professor Morse’s magnetic telegraph, Profes¬ 
sor Alexander Graham Bell's telephone, Cyrus 
Field’s transoceanic cables and Delany’s 2,000- 
w 7 ords-a-minute teleposi automatic telegraph, 
which annihilate time and distance and bring 
all sections of the universe into instant commu 
nication with each other. 

Also might “Poor Richard,” who industri¬ 
ously kicked off his manual on a hand-press, 
esteem himself a minor offender against Deitv 
in the study of the modern high-powered 
cylinder press and typesetting machine, which 
do in hours what would have taken him 
months to do. Chicago Examiner. 


A printer’s idea of Paradise is an establish¬ 
ment supplied with lots of sorts. 



WN 19 1911 


A 


Roman Gladiator on the Job. 


13ATRONS of the Regan 
Printing House are often 
surprised, frequently amazed, 
and sometimes astounded at 
the forked lightning service 
they receive when they call 
up "Harrison 6281.” Rapid 
as the motion has been, it has 
been none too swift, but at that 
there is a well defined reason 
for the rate of speed with which 
the business of those patroniz¬ 
ing the Regan Printing House 
has been dispatched, and here 
is where the human equation 
comes in, or rather it may be 
stated these satisfactory adjustments border 
on the superhuman. The principal factor 
next to the battery of wires embraced in the 
switchboard convenience is a youthful Roman 
gladiator, with all that the term implies. 

This important auxiliary is Francesco Rito, 
a native of the Imperial City of the Caesars, 
where he first saw the light in 1894. St. 
Peter’s Church, the world's greatest sacred 
edifice was where he received his baptismal 
cognomen, and it is stated that the holy man 
when giving him his rythmical appellation pro¬ 
phesied that some day the infant would wield 
an important command in a far-off country, 
and that he would be called upon to assume 
great responsibilities. These predictions have 
already come true because the youth has 
complete command over the office force of mes¬ 
senger bovs and has charge of the switchboard 
with its thousands of daily calls, with other 
duties to keep him busy. 

At the age of 6 this descendant of Ancient 
Roman Emperors was brought to this country 
by his parents, eventually reaching Chicago. 
Settling on the West Side he attended the 
Dante School where he touched the eighth 
°Tade in less than the usual time. Starting 

o 

out in search for employment at the close of 
the term the aspiring youth did not look long 


before hooking up with the Regan institution 
some two years ago. 

Separating a bov from his books and making 
a general out of him is like taking a weanling 
from the brood mare and developing it into the 
world-beating stake horse, but it is not im¬ 
possible if the pedigree is right and the treat¬ 
ment or training is what it should be. At first 
the youth was given comparatively easy stunts 
which were gradually advanced, until he felt at 
home in any sort of going. 1 he treatment 
first administered was a compound prepared 
exclusively in the Regan Printing House, and 
which all employes take a course, is called 
“memory medicine.” This is to stimulate and 
strengthen the most important faculty used 
in a printshop. Francesco’s progress from the 
first was satisfactory in many respects, so that 
forgetting anything that is put up to him does 
not happen. Noting his grip on memory it was 
decided to advance him along another im¬ 
portant line of intellectual development. This 
consisted of a medicament used nowhere else 
than in the big Plymouth place printery, in 
fact in the entire pharmacopoeia of New 
Thought it has not even been written about and 
consists of what is known as “anticipation tab¬ 
lets,’’the virtue of the preparation being demon¬ 
strated by the youth’s ability to discern what a 
patron wants without being told. 

Followers of the various cults of mind read¬ 
ing, telepathy, psychology and second sight 
have sought to fathom Francesco's rare gifts 
and he is often the subject of many querulous 
tests but the gladiator declares himself on safe 
ground at least as long as his “memory 
medicine” proves efficacious and his “antici¬ 
pation tablets” give him the reliable hunches 
that they have heretofore done. 


The world‘s progress from generation to 
generation may be gauged by the volume of 
printing turned out. Judged by this stan¬ 
dard, the art of printing was never so highly 
appreciated as it is today.
